The shitty part about ADHD is that
You're never taken seriously.
Your issues dismissed
Your mind called fake
Called slack
Called anything but beautiful

The shitty part about that is that
I'm beautiful
I'm fucking perfect
Just the way I god damn come
Straight from the box
No expansion pack or detachable armor needed

The shitty part about that is that
My brain is me
My brain is just as beautiful
As my drop dead gorgeous face
Hair
Eyes
Ass
And explosive emotional tendencies

The shitty part about ADHD is that
My explosive emotional tendencies
Are often skewed
Unfollowable
And more passionate than any speech ever muttered by any other soul
Because my heart is beautiful
And my beautiful heart loves my beautiful mind
And they make the most beautiful screaming babies

My loud ass is beautiful
Is titalwave at a wedding
Is baseball to the face of reason
Is too big for my britches
Is love
Is hate
Is knowledge
Is fate

The shitty part about that is that
I often don't know how I feel
Until I spit it in the face of the ones I love
Because I can't control it
Because my beautiful mind
Shoots ugly more than I'd like to admit
Because my beautiful mind
Doesn't always think beautiful
Doesn't always think right or wrong
Sometimes it doesn't think at all

The shitty part about ADHD is that
You're never taken seriously.
Your issues dismissed
Your mind called fake
Called slack
Called anything
but beautiful
